"You did it, didn't you?" Tord asked with no emotion. He looked at the person with a hard cold stare. Something that would send a shiver down your spine. Sometimes people forget that Tord can be this scary. "Did what?" The other man in the room asked back. He was wearing a red army uniform, like everyone else in the base. "You know what." Tord started walking circles around him. "You shot him. Just admit it." "I didn't." Tord was silent for a moment. "I seen you on the camera footage, how could I not believe that?" He asked the man. The guy hesitated for an answer. "Fine, I did it. Go ahead, kick me out, erase my memory, or even-" Tord aimed his gun at the soldier's head. "-Or just kill you?" Without another word, Tord shot the gun. The sound of the gun echoed through the hallways outside of the room. Blood splattered on the floor and on himself. He lowered the gun and stared at the cold, hard body that was lying lifeless on the floor. He could've had friends, he could've had a family, but Tord didn't care. He didn't even remember his name.

Tom and Edd were sitting outside trying to relax. After all, today was very stressful.
Edd jumped at the sound of the gunshot. He looked around rapidly. "What was that?!" Tom looked at him. "It was probably just someone shooting something for target practice. Relax, Edd. No every gunshot here means someone's dead." Edd calmed down. "You're right... it's normal here. Normal to shoot guns." Tom layed down on the grass and it looked like on his goggles he closed his eyes. He took them off and revealed a huge scars all around his eyes. Edd stared at the scars, very surprised to see so many. "You're looking at them, aren't you?" Tom asked, knowing that Edd was staring at him. "What? No, no...not at all..." Edd lied while he layed down next to Tom.

Tord got a change of clothes on because well, it would be a bit weird to walk around covered in blood. He also got rid of the body, and cleaned everything up. He didn't care if any of the soldiers saw him covered in blood, or carrying a corpse. He just didn't want Tom or Edd to see him while doing it. After he got on his normal sweater on, his blind eye started hurting. "This is was I get for not wearing the eyepatch..." He told himself. He went into his office and grabbed the eyepatch and put it on. His eye still hurt, and he decided to at least wear the eyepatch on sunny days. Like the doctors suggested in the first place.

He started walking down the hallways looking for Edd and Tom. Out of nowhere, his robotic arm started twitching. Tord stopped walking. The arm was still having a mini dance party. He tried to hit the dancing arm (why is that so funny to me?) with his other hand but hurt his hand instead. "Sh- oww... forgot how tough this thing is. Why couldn't my giant robot be as tough as this arm?"
He thought fighting it wouldn't work so he thought maybe taking it apart might help. The robotic arm started going in all different directions. "Why does it have to make things harder?!" Tord asked himself a bit annoyed. He grabbed the arm firmly. "Ah ha!" The red hand poked him in his eye. Tord accidentally let go of it. "You little-" This soon turned into a fight match. Tord vs. His robot arm.
Who will win? Stay tuned!

"What's taking Tord so long?" Tom asked. "Maybe he's having trouble finding us." Edd suggested. "Doubt it." "Maybe he's detracted?" "With what?" Tom asked. Edd hesitated. "Uh-" "Exactly." Edd tried to think of another possible reason. "He's probably just busy with something." "Like he always is." Tom replied back. (Busy with his darn arm!)

And we're back to the fight!
The arm uses it's moves to slap Tord in the face. He slaps it back, it slaps back, he slaps, it slaps, then Tord grabs it again. He gets a panel out, but the arm is angered by this. It flings out of Tord's grasp. The robotic arm tries to escape, but it remembers it's attached to him. The arm has a mini rave while Tord tackles it. "Got ya!" Tord takes something out of it and it turns completely off. Tord is the winner! The crowd cheers! Wait, crowd? Tord gets up and looks around him. He notices quite a new soldiers were watching this fight. "Everyone, get back to what you were doing." Tord ordered as he walks off.

Tord soon after joins Edd and Tom. Even without Tom's goggles, he knew Tord was there. "Took you long enough." He said. Tord sat down next to Edd, making Edd the middle. "Well I had some... technical difficulties..." Tord responded. They didn't bother to ask what kind. Tord started tinkering with his robot arm. "Arm broken?" Edd asked. "Kinda...not exactly broken but more...glitchy..." "Oh, how glitchy?" Edd asked. Tord answered saying, "I had a small fight with it on the way here. So, does that answer your question?" "Yes. Well, kinda." "I wish I was there to see it." Tom commented. Tord laughed a little. "I'm pretty sure one of those people who were watching without me noticing were recording it, then you can watch it." Tord said. "I need to find that one person who was recording." Tom said sitting up. "Or... you could just look at the security footage." Tord commented. "Hey Edd, want to look at that fight that Tord had with his arm?" Tom asked grabbed his goggles and putting them on. "You bet!"
